Avastin
I finished my 7th chemo on 3rd December and the onc decided to cancel the 8th and final one (
Taxol
, Carboplatin with Avastin included since 5th chemo) as I was hospitalised before the scheduled 8th one on 23rd December with neutropenic sepsis and had low haemoglobin and needed blood transfusions.

First chemo treatment coming up
I'm having carbol/
taxol
so I know my hair will come out, I'm a bit gutted as I've taken so long to grow it past my shoulder in the last three years, but even that's not worrying me too much! It's the thought of being constipated with piles too for at least five months !

Pic line success
This was done on Monday, had a big bleed early Tuesday morning, this was soon sorted by the nurse, then followed by my
Taxol
chemo, which was absolutely fine.This procedure will now be weekly with one week break after 3 sessions.

Tumour Maker - CA 135?
Hi, I had my second chemo after surgery (6th carbo/
taxol
in total with Avastin now included) yesterday and as my bloods were so good, the onc decided not to give me the Neulasta injection (happy days for me as I found it very hard to tolerate with the bone pain it caused).

difficult decision
I have to decide by 23rd october and have 3 options, more chemo (cistplatin or if I can persuade him I'd prefer weekly
taxol
again), clinical trial or do my own thing with nutrition, herbs, meditation, acupuncture, etc. I now have mets in my liver so need something soon.

On the treadmill again
This time I will receive
Taxol
[paclitaxel] on its own. The regime will be once a week for 3 weeks and 1 week rest x 6. Have asked that they put in a PICC line again for my poor veins. They also found a small hernia just under my ribs - think I may have overdone the gardening!!!!!

low platelet count?
She was on
taxol
and carboplatin at first, though she has been switched to cisplatin because it apparently affects platelets less.

2nd Taxol/Carbo completed
Stage IIIa - complete removal of cancer 10/8/15 - adjuvant chemo
Taxol
/Carbo. Completed my 2nd session last Monday 5th Ocober. The pain in my legs has not been so severe this time but has lasted longer, the constipation has been helped by the Laxido that the doctor prescribed.

Meeting with oncologist.
I'm disease free at the moment and although I presented in June at Stage 4, he confirmed that I am now Stage 3c due to the fact that I had responded so well to chemo (
Taxol
/Carboplatin). I can only conclude this is good news! He has scheduled 4 more
taxol
/carboplation and then 1 year on Avistan.
